Aviation Litigation Lawyer – Junior Solicitor or Graduate

We are looking for a Senior Associate to join and help shape our Melbourne practice.

You will build your own client relationships and a portfolio of work from day one. We provide the infrastructure, the firm profile, support and team together with existing work . We will give you the flexibility to grow a practice with exposure to the quality of work normally at top tier firms while still maintaining a healthy work life balance.

What You Will Do

Lead and run your own matters with the autonomy appropriate to a practitioner at this level - whether those matters are commercial, contractual, regulatory, or contentious

Advise clients on regulatory compliance, licensing, investigations, and enforcement matters within the aviation and transport sectors

Handle commercial and contractual work, including assisting on M&A; and asset transactions, agreements, and disputes arising in the course of clients' operations

Manage litigation and dispute resolution proceedings where matters become contentious, including before specialist tribunals and regulators

Develop and maintain robust client relationships,



contributing directly to practice growth and business development

Mentor junior lawyers and contribute to the culture and growth of the Melbourne office

Who We're Looking For

A Senior Associate whose skills and experience span regulatory, commercial, and contentious work - we value capability over years served

Experience advising in relation to, or appearing before, regulatory bodies, enforcement agencies, or specialist tribunals, ideally with exposure to transport, aviation, or related sectors

An existing practice: clients who engage you personally, matters you have led, and a track record of doing the work rather than supporting it

Genuine commercial acumen - you understand your clients' industries and translate legal risk into practical terms

A desire to practice at principal level within a specialist boutique, where your contribution is visible, and your development is not governed by a lockstep table

An interest in aviation and transport is essential, although prior experience in these areas of the law is not required

Melbourne-based or firmly committed to being so
